Exploring the Airbnb Market in Singapore
1 Project Summary
Airbnbs as potential short-term accommodations are practically illegal in Singapore.
Under the 2017 Planning Act, private home owners are permitted to rent our their homes for a minimum of three consecutive months. For HDB flats, home owners may only rent out their homes to non-tourists for a minimum of six consecutive months, under the Housing and Development Act.
Why are there still so many Airbnb listings in Singapore despite these legal restrictions?
